The first section of this paper focuses on the importance of negotiation processes related to research and evaluation. This importance is based on five issues: ethics in production processes, knowledge scope, rigorous inquiry, efficiency of development- oriented findings and strategy to maintain contexts in which research and participant learning can take place. The different phases of the negotiation process are also presented: initial, processing and reporting, the last one of special importance. The requirements, types, characteristics and operation processes of the reporting phase are discussed. The second section of this paper provides in the form of an example a specific case of negotiation from a qualitative investigation about immigrant familie's participation at school. Its different phases, demands and virtualities are discussed. The paper finished with some final considerations and references. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: In this study, the categories "paper reading", "screen reading" and "ways of reading" were analyzed through the words of teachers who belong to different disciplines and headquarters of the Universidad Nacional del Comahue (UNCo), Patagonia, Argentina. Method: For this study, part of a major investigation carried out within the framework of a doctoral thesis in Education, the constant comparative method was used, and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with teachers, conducted during the 2014-2017 period, were analyzed. Objective: The main objective was to determine the representations of UNCo lectures regarding screen reading and their relationship with the task of teaching at university. Results: Concerning results, on the one hand, it was observed that the ratings on screen reading were different when the focus was shifted from the task of teaching to research. On the other hand, there were several changes in the ways of reading and teaching, although it was admitted that these do not always lead to profound transformations in education. Conclusion: The main conclusion was that, in certain situations, it seems that the so-called "new" technologies have demolished several walls, allowing for more extensive and open ways of teaching, but at the same time, it is noted that new walls have been erected, some of which only reproduce old pedagogical models.

This paper presents the post-qualitative approach as an opportunity to rethink the meaning of research from positions which have not always been considered to be legitimate; from perspectives that move us from zones of stability to perspectives which place us within a problematic position, one that stimulates thought and generates ontological, epistemological, methodological and ethical displacements. For this purpose, we present the onto/epistemological and methodological assumptions which guide this research as well as how the adoption of a post-qualitative perspective helped us to rethink and reconfigure our positions as researchers, professors and artists during the developing processes of two doctoral theses. We look at the post-qualitative as a perspecti ve in which we reconceptualize the ways of doing and thinking inquiry and how to explain it. A perspective that allows us to conduct a different kind of research, to reformulate and rethink notions of qualitative research, and create new concepts which aim to go beyond the trend of domestication that has taken place in social research.

Both at international and national levels it is observed that it is increasingly important to specify digital competences in the educational context, referring both to teachers and students. If we look more specifically at students, digital competence is a broad theoretical construct that, among its dimensions, supports the need to analyze and enhance the Personal Learning Environment (PLE), a construct that supports the CAPPLE Project and that allows us to understand in a global way how students use their digital competence in their academic learning processes. In this paper we show the main results of the CAPPLE Project, an exploratory study in which an ad hoc questionnaire was used to determine the strategies and technological tools that final-year university students (n=2,054) use in their learning processes and communication. The questionnaire was validated with a triple procedure and a Cronbach's alpha of 0,944. The evidence obtained allows us to demystify the concept of the "digital native", since senior students integrated technologies to communicate in their personal and leisure spaces, but not too much in their academic activities.
